    Combo box limit to list doesnt limit


    I have a combo box with limit to list selected, but it doesn't actually limit to the list! It lets users enter data and save it to the list. Is there a way to change that without turning it into a dropdown box only?

    Did you set the AllowValueListEdits Property to NO?
    (right below the Limit to List property)

    Also make sure there's no code in the NotInList event.

    How to remove date from a timestamp

    I have a timestamp on my records that is called [tstime] and it is set to the format for 24 hours,
    but when I go to edit it from a subform it shows 11/8/2017 6:39:06 PM that format, and they have to erase all of it to enter 19:20 or whatever time it is (in military time)

    How do I have it store only the military time?

    Sounds like when you populate the field, you include the date. A date/time field stores the date and time together as a double, with the integer portion representing the date and the decimal portion the time.

    Why are you editing a timestamp field? A timestamp is (usually) for knowing when a record is created - nothing more.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
